A Minnesota woman admitted in a guilty plea Wednesday that she left her newborn baby boy to die on the shore of a lake in 2003, CBS Minnesota reported.
Matter was arrested May 10, 2022, at her home in Belvidere Township outside Red Wing.
Citing the criminal complaint, CBS Minnesota reported that Matter said she left the baby on the beach before driving away, and said she did not have a plan about leaving the baby in a safe place, but"hoped that someone in the nearby houses would find the baby." "Genetic genealogy and rapid DNA testing were both employed to develop a break in the case and then quickly confirm the identity of the babies' mother," Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said after Matter was charged last year."These kinds of scientific advances that can aid investigations are happening all the time. That is why it is so important to never give up on any unsolved case.
